GOT A CALL FROM THIS # pressed 9 and when Jamal answerd , I Said how may I help you, he started his spew and I intrerrupted him with THIS IS THE U.S. MARSHALL'S OFFICE IN OKLAHOMA, THE PHONE AND MAIL FRAUD DIVISION, DO YOU WISH TO MAKE COPLAINT. funny thing they hung up and I have not hreard from them since
This number comes across my caller id several times a day it says Illinois call 224-000-0009 then I get another call right after that says New Jersey call 201-200-7911. Never leaves a message. I have a handy little box that hooks to the phone line that you push and it says something to the sound of "This # does not accept calls like this please remove this # from your call list." I have had it for years before the Do Not Call Registry came around.
100% SPAM. CREDIT CARD PHISHING SCAM. There is NO SUCH Exchange (middle set of numbers in 10-digit string) as "000". That is your FIRST CLUE this is BOGUS. SPOOFED (FAKE with Real Number HIDDEN) NUMBER. Caller ID said "ILLINOIS", but most likely this is generated from call centers OVERSEAS, and thus out of the jurisdiction of the FLACID "Do Not Call List" Law.
When I see numbers like this I PICK UP/HANG UP IMMEDIATELY (or press "IGNORE" on cell) WITHOUT ANSWERING. That may 'confuse' ROBODIALING Computer and help CUT DOWN on the number/frequency of calls.
I'd actually gone a WHOLE MONTH with none of these calls, recently.
Although, having been OUT-OF-STATE for three of those weeks - and not available by landline to attempt to SCAM - (AND WHO, but my CREDIT CARD COMPANY would have know that better, by our charges) so I THINK THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES THEMSELVES are IN ON THESE SCAMS, THEMSELVES, supplying the INFORMATION on us to these SCAMMER/CRIMINALS OVERSEAS (and probably taking a CUT of all the STOLEN $ for THEMSELVES.)
just got a call, answered it and said nothing for several secs. then I screamed WHAT???? and it hung up. Knew it was a bogus number by a scammer. Curious which scammer I should report this week>
I've been getting a call from this number every other day, and today I decided to answer it, so I answered and this guy started cussing me out and calling a c**k sucker, and a motherFu**er. I asked to speak to. His supervisor and he said he fired her. So I asked to speak to somebody in charge and he said Hell no, and for me to for and f**k myself. I can't call them back because it says it's been disconnected.
